Being a diester, diethyl succinate is a particularly versatile building block. It participates in acyloin condensation to give 2-hydroxycyclobutanone. [1] Via condensation with oxalate esters, it serves as a precursor to ketoglutaric acid. [2] It is a reagent in the Stobbe condensation.
The Stobbe condensation entails the reaction of an aldehyde or ketone with an ester of succinic acid to generate alkylidene succinic acid or related derivatives. [1] The reaction consumes one equivalent of metal alkoxide. Commonly, diethylsuccinate is a component of the reaction. The usual product is salt of the half-ester.
1,4-Cyclohexanedione is prepared in two steps from diesters of succinic acid. Specifically under basic conditions, the diethyl succinate condenses to give the cyclohexenediol derivative diethylsuccinoylsuccinate. This intermediate can be hydrolysed and decarboxylated to afford the desired dione. [2]
Succinic acid (/ s ə k ˈ s ɪ n ɪ k /) is a dicarboxylic acid with the chemical formula (CH 2) 2 (CO 2 H) 2. [5] In living organisms, succinic acid takes the form of an anion, succinate, which has multiple biological roles as a metabolic intermediate being converted into fumarate by the enzyme succinate dehydrogenase in complex 2 of the electron transport chain which is involved in making ...
N-Hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) is an organic compound with the formula (CH 2 CO) 2 NOH. It is a white solid that is used as a reagent for preparing active esters in peptide synthesis. It can be synthesized by heating succinic anhydride with hydroxylamine or hydroxylamine hydrochloride. [2]

The neutral nickel succinate NiC 4 H 2 O 4 ·4H 2 O, can be made from succinic acid and nickel carbonate. [3] It dehydrates between 114 and 200°, Andydrous nickel succinate breaks down at 380° and over 450°C only nickel oxide is left. [3] The gaseous decomposition products mainly consist of water, methane, ethylene, propane and carbon dioxide.
